Hi, I've got this small problem on my server that i find annoying : When a user who's limit's are close (limited by login.conf) tries to read a man page, the groff process fails and produces an empty cat man page. Later requests for this man page will then fail. I tried googling first and found this PR that *appears* identical : http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=gnu/5767 however, my system is a : FreeBSD j1.kmem.org 4.10-STABLE FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE #0: Mon Jun 21 18:05:51 CEST 2004 tom@shuttle.kmem.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/svr i386 this is what i did : tom@j1.kmem.org:~/public_html> man ms Formatting page, please wait.../usr/bin/groff:fatal error: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable Done. tom@j1.kmem.org:~/public_html> man ms tom@j1.kmem.org:~/public_html> tom@j1.kmem.org:~/public_html> cd /usr/share/man/cat7 tom@j1.kmem.org:/usr/share/man/cat7> ll ms.7.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 man wheel 20 Jun 25 09:31 ms.7.gz tom@j1.kmem.org:/usr/share/man/cat7> du ms.7.gz 2 ms.7.gz tom@j1.kmem.org:/usr/share/man/cat7> ll /usr/share/man/man7/ms.7.gz -r--r--r-- 2 root wheel 7799 Jun 21 18:14 /usr/share/man/man7/ms.7.gz tom@j1.kmem.org:/usr/share/man/cat7> tom@j1.kmem.org:/usr/share/man/cat7> rm ms.7.gz override rw-r--r-- man/wheel for ms.7.gz? y rm: ms.7.gz: Permission denied tom@j1.kmem.org:/usr/share/man/cat7> file ms.7.gz ms.7.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix tom@j1.kmem.org:/usr/share/man/cat7> zcat ms.7.gz tom@j1.kmem.org:/usr/share/man/cat7> root will now need to manually delete this bogus file :(( I'm not sure what i need to do from here Thanks, Tom
